Red Sox Hub: Henry Denies He Wanted Lowe Out Of Boston:
It has been reported by multiple media sources that the Midwestern raised JWH did not agree with D'Lowe's lifestyle of drinking and carousing
An item in the Herald's Inside Track last week reported that Henry was angered by Lowe allegedly showing up at a charity event last year with a woman who was not his wife and that the open philandering upset the owner so much that it sealed the right-hander's fate with the Sox. Lowe, who ended up signing a four-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, has reportedly split with his wife due to his relationship with a West Coast television sports reporter.
Henry, via e-mail, denied that Lowe's personal life had anything to do with his status and that he had nothing to do with contract negotiations. He said that confusion resulted when his attempt to issue a denial through a spokesman was relayed as a ``no comment'' instead. "
When the non-baseball guys like John Henry and Larry Lucchino start meddling in player personnel decisions, front office strife and on-field ramifications soon follow.
